Key the reaction in three, two, one ... Boom sox fans go get Ozzie.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:54 AM) I thought it was 4 times? Either way, he's hilariously bad right now. I really don't even get mad. This is the first season in many many seasons where I don't get mad. We have a horrible baseball team in so many ways. Expect to lose; surprised n happy if/when we win.

Why all the Rongey hate? He hosts a postgame show. What is he supposed to be, a knee jerk fan like us?? If you are the host you have to look at things logically and just agreeing that Pierre sucks is an irresponsible position for a host. The times I've listened, he isn't all pro management. I didn't hear the Hudson discussion, but from what I've heard, I bet he admitted Hudson looked good, but ...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 20, 2011 -> 11:41 PM) Jay Mariotti Thanks. Man, Mariotti has slipped since leaving Chicago. Does he even have a job anymore?

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:50 AM) Yep, he's on fire. His average is all the way up to .178. And, he only struck out 3 times today. I guess having him play the field more is really making a difference. We should just bench him and let fans bat in his place. It'd be a nice promotion, but with our luck, the fans would get injured and sue the team for zillions.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:48 AM) Try to sit through a game when Jackson is on the mound. Or Floyd tonight. WHat terrible pitching. The anti Buehrle. He worked sooo slow.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:46 AM) I dont love it. Pull f***ing rank. Release Pierre and bring up Viciedo. Dont let a guy who has put guys like Wise, Kotsay, and Pierre in positions to generate outs at the top of the lineup. Kenny is acting so timid this year. I mean WTF. Like you said, make a decision. Bring up Viciedo.

Would the Reds take him back if we say pretty please and give them about 5 million?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:29 AM) Well it depends. Is our manager going to handicap our team with 2003 Marlins ball with Pierre and Omar up top. We need to score more than the other team to win. Pierre and Omar are definitely cures for insomnia. Omar is fine when he's a super utility guy.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:33 AM) Fine, but A, don't expect to get anything in return and B, expect to eat a lot in salary. Kenny is really good at "A" and not so good at "B". He better get creative cause this team blows.

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) Uh-oh, you had to go and do this. But to answer your question, I would say that if you can get an unbelievable package in return, by all means yes. In this day and age though, most organizations are very protective of their young talent. These days, managing payroll is just as important as winning. But your thought process is correct. We desperately need to rebuild this organization and we are not going to do it by trading away our garbage (Pierre, Teahen and Rios). I disagree. Keeping the garbage keeps the team garbage.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:19 AM) If the Sox continue to play poorly and are 8+ out at the deadline, would you guys be content with dealing PK? I know he probably wouldn't want to go and he's hitting like Babe f***ing Ruth, but what if they could get 2 (maybe 3) of the following 4 from Atlanta: Freeman, Minor, Delgado, Teheran? Or what about to the Yankees for a package around Montero? Also, this would probably mean dealing Danks and Buehrle as well. I'm not in favor of any of this, but I was just curious. Atlanta can really pitch but their hitting isn't all there, and NY could use him and Tex as a platoon at 1B/DH. I'd rather get rid of all the clowns. You know the names.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:21 AM) Yeah, Cubs/Sox ESPECIALLY at night is f***ing dangerous. That sucks truly. Hey southside, I'm a Mt. Greenwooder myself. Played for the Bears and the White Sox in Mt Greenwood LL and Babe Ruth.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 03:18 AM) Taking a kid to a cross town game is a risky adventure. This is amature hour where drunks with beer muscles want to fight you because their team is losing or you happen to wear opposing gear. Well that sucks, then. This isn't the f***ing NFL. Should play day games if that's the case. Drunks are going to go after kids??? f***heads. Throw them in jail.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:52 AM) 36,005 That is amazing. And all those Sox fans have to be pretty damn pissed at wasting that money. Only way I could see that being fun is taking a niece or nephew or son or daughter to that game and just enjoying baseball and pretending the outcome doesn't matter in front of the wide eyed youngsters who love baseball for the right reasons.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) I am a life long Sox fan too and there have been worse, but I am always back for more We're all back for more. But we stink this year.

How many fans showed up for this piss poor effort?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:40 AM) There is a second half to this season and things can turn around quickly I am a lifelong White Sox fan. This edition of the team blows.

The best word to describe this team is "heartless." Cubs down 3-0. No problem. Cubs up 6-3. Sox down 6-3. Uh game ova, 6-3.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:32 AM) Why is it that with any loss this team suffers that someone has to get fired or traded? There is plenty of baseball left and you don't win the pennant based on one series or one game or one week Or three months.

Yay, Adam didn't strike out.

Serious question: Do the Cubs sweep this series? And if they do, is Oz gone?

If Zambrano was honest he'd say it was his easiest challenge of the year, save for Paulie of course. Paulie is a true hitter; everybody else, ha.

Thanks to whomever jinxed us by saying the Cub lineup was a joke. Floyd's was s*** tonight.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 02:18 AM) Two notes: Adam Dunn = Albert Belle The only way the Sox win tonight is if Marmol lays a goose egg. Let's see it happen. f***! I hate losing to the Cubs. Belle was way better than Dunn. Dunn is beyond belief in terms of badness.
